Probe into suspected embezzlement of Pakistan ransom funds closed

The State Attorney’s Office said it has closed an inquiry into suspicions that funds were embezzled in connection with release of two Czech kidnapped in Pakistan three years ago. The office said there were no grounds for any case to be answered. Hana Humpálová and Antonie Chrástecká were released in March last year after being held for two years. Rumours have abounded that a ransom was paid for their release but the payment has never been officially confirmed.
